Social inclusion
Our work touches on many aspects of social policy including:
- Substance misuse projects that range from evaluations on behalf of national governments to
the development tools that help local drug partnerships commission services more effectively; - Projects to develop sustainable communities that range from the evaluation of the Street
Warden schemes through to tools to plan for healthy neighbourhoods or the commissioning of housing support services; - Children and young people’s services, working with Youth Offending Teams and Sure Start; and
- The advice sector, with projects ranging from independent reviews of national policy through to research in the offices and drop-in centres of front-line service providers.
We help decision-makers to make better decisions, enabling them to use their resources more effectively. Our clients include National policy-makers such as the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Ministry of Justice; and those at a local level who develop strategy and commission services, such as Drug Action Teams and Supporting People teams.
